Guar Gum Powder 227g

Create better bakes and smoother sauces with NOW Foods Guar Gum Powder 227g—a naturally derived thickening agent made from the guar bean. It’s especially useful in whole grain and gluten-free baking, where doughs can struggle to rise and hold structure due to the absence of gluten.

A small amount helps improve thickness and texture, supporting a more light, fluffy consistency in baked goods. Beyond baking, guar gum is also a handy kitchen staple for thickening soups, sauces, and salad dressings without altering flavour.

This product is Kosher and Non-GMO, and is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
